Hi Mom and Dad!
The first two years of my life are like the foundation of a grand building. Dr. Montessori believed that this period is a time of unparalleled growth and transformation. It’s when I lay the groundwork for everything I will become—my intelligence, personality, and character. These early years are not just developmental; they are the blueprints of my life.
The Unseen Construction
- During the first two years, I’m creating my entire personality, intellect, and abilities.
- This time is so crucial that Montessori compared it to laying the foundation for a skyscraper—strong and precise.
How You Can Help My Growth
- Provide a Loving Environment
- Montessori Activities: Offer soft, natural materials for me to touch, like wooden toys or textured fabrics. This fosters sensory development.
- Talk and Sing to Me
- Montessori Activities: Narrate your day or sing nursery rhymes. This helps me absorb language naturally.
- Encourage Movement
- Montessori Activities: Create a safe play area with low furniture to support my crawling, pulling up, and walking.
Why It Matters
Every small interaction builds who I am. With your support, I’ll grow into a confident, curious, and capable person.
Thank you for laying the foundation of my future with love and care.
Love,
Your Little Builder 💙
